CVE-2025-68222

s32pinctrldesc is allocated with devmkmalloc(), but not all of its fields are initialized. Notably, numcustomparams is used in pinconfgenericparsedt_config(), resulting in intermittent allocation errors, such as the following splat when probing i2c-imx:

    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 176 at mm/page_alloc.c:4795 __alloc_pages_noprof+0x290/0x300

This results in later parse failures that can cause issues in dependent drivers:

    i2c i2c-2: IMX I2C adapter registered

Fix this by initializing s32pinctrldesc with devmkzalloc() instead of devmkmalloc() in s32pinctrlprobe(), which sets the previously uninitialized fields to zero.
